Claim: On 19 November 2012, the International Court of Justice ruled in the Nicaragua v. Colombia maritime-delimitation case, reducing Colombian jurisdiction over waters surrounding the San Andrés archipelago beyond 12 nautical miles in favour of Nicaragua; in response, AMEN-SD protested before the Colombian Congress and proposed holding a self-determination referendum, and Raizal activism more broadly spans a spectrum from calls for increased autonomy within Colombia to demands for full independence, with AMEN-SD situated at the independence-seeking end.
